An Austin-area man has been busted in one of the largest Ponzi schemes ever in Maryland history. Jay Ledford of Westlake is among three people who is facing numerous charges involving a $364-million investment scam. US Attorney Robert Hur said victims believed they stood to make mountains of cash through consumer debt portfolios.
Hur says more than 400 people were bilked out of their money across the nation.
